That report compared it with $419.70 and calculated savings of $179.71—not more than $300. The available evidence does not establish that the October offer is a record low. Check the live listing before buying: the reported deal was stated to expire October 7, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
What the October 2026 price claim actually shows
The specific model is the AV2501S, which Shark calls the Shark AI ULTRA Robot Self-Empty. Technobezz reported the Amazon offer at $239.99 on October 4, 2026, against a $419.70 comparison price. On that basis, its stated discount was $179.71. Technobezz’s deal report gave an expiry of October 7, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PDT; that deadline has passed, so the price should be treated as a dated report, not a current checkout offer.

Shark’s official product page listed the AV2501S at $549.99 when accessed October 7, 2026. That is a different reference price from Technobezz’s $419.70 comparison figure, so the two should not be blended into a single savings claim. Neither figure guarantees what Amazon or another seller charges now.

Is it a record low, and does it save over $300?
The October 2026 evidence does not establish either claim. Engadget called $229.99 a record low during its October 8, 2025 coverage; that historical report does not show that $239.99 is a new record. Engadget’s report is explicitly about the 2025 price.

The AV2501S has also appeared at a similar price since then: Mashable reported an Amazon price of $249.99 on June 16, 2026, describing it as $300 off list. That earlier coverage shows why a large discount against a list price is not by itself proof of a record-low price. Mashable’s June 2026 report, republished by Yahoo Tech, supplies that dated comparison.
To judge a live offer, confirm the seller’s current checkout price and compare it with a reliable price history. The cited reports provide dated snapshots, not a complete price history or proof that an expired offer remains available.

What Shark says the AV2501S includes
Shark describes the AV2501S as a robot vacuum with Matrix Clean navigation, 360-degree LiDAR mapping, a bagless self-empty base, HEPA filtration, and voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. These are manufacturer-advertised features, not independent test results. Shark rates the base as holding up to 30 days of dirt and debris; the actual time between emptying depends on use and household conditions. Shark’s official AV2501S product page lists the model and its advertised features.
Replacement parts and upkeep
Shark’s AV2501S product page lists model-specific components including the front wheel (1156FK950), pre-motor filter (XPRFRV2500), base dust bin (142KY2500S), robot dust bin (139KY2500), brushroll door (140KY2500), and post-motor filter door (135KY2500). Check compatibility against the exact model on the seller’s listing before ordering; a part that fits another Shark robot may not fit this one.
